I lied... when I tried to submit the news item, I got a 404 for the
page http://www.wirebird.com/cgi-bin/bnbform.cgi

That link is approximately 8,000 years old.  (Only 6,000 if you're a YEC, 
though.)  Where'd you find it?

news@phoenyx.net is the current news location, though I think it'll bounce 
if you're not subscribed to news@, so I suppose you should just send it to 
me.  It's all sort of in transition right now, because it lives half on 
the new box, half on the old.

And none on Dreamhost, it's looking like.  The bandwidth is really nice, 
but the CPU limits aren't.

I'm clearly not a YEC... cosmologist and all that....

The link (or, rather, form target) was on:

  http://www.phoenyx.net/newssub.html  

This was in the 2003 managers instructions that Carl sent me the other
day to go with the new socnone game.  To be fair, Carl described it as
"mostly accurate" :)

I'm not sure it was accurate in 2003.  Or maybe that critter was around 
longer than I thought it was.

Anyway, probably the best way is to send mail to news-on, send your news, 
then news-off.  Or just stay subscribed; it works too.

I think.

Hmm.  I tried mailing to news-on@phoenyx.net and
news-on@robot.phoenyx.net, but both got returned as undeliverable.

Can you post the following news item ("accidentally" echoed to this list
in a transparent attempt to recruit other managers):

  Fudge Planescape : The Society of None

     This new PBEM will be set in the Planescape setting-- the "known
     planes of existence" familiar to any longtime player of D&D.  The
     game will center around Sigil.  All of the PCs in the game are
     experienced planewalkers who have been around and seen bits of the
     multiverse.  They meet together in a sort of social club-- the
     Society of None-- which is composed of people from a varieity of
     factions and walks of life, but of whom are all experienced
     planewalkers, and all share some degree of an individualistic
     philosophy.  The game will be based in Sigil, but will include
     excursions to other planes.

     See http://www.phoenyx.net/socnone/ for more information about the
     game, for information about character submissions, and for
     information about subscribing to the mailing list.  (Lurkers are
     welcome.)
